If information exchange through IDIS BUSINESS EXCHANGE does not produce the desired result, or works too slowly, participants can ask IDIS to take a more focused or intensive approach.
And should a participant need more active support and advice during the next steps which emerge from contact with another participant, IDIS can also offer this.
In both cases, a number of our high-level, associated consultants can offer services. These are top-level professionals who have a proven record as entrepreneur, manager or coach in the design field. Or who have specialist expertise in a particular, relevant area, such as succession or acquisitions.
